Has anyone a link to purchase some as I have spent the last 2.5 hours searching the net without any luck.
many thanks lhd.................................

Coppaslip(brand name of Comma I think), some times sold as copper grease, should get it from almost any motor shop, halfwits etc, all I ever use on brakes.

remember only BEHIND the pads!

Copper slip is wonderful stuff - put it on everything you want to take apart again (at some point unspecified) and magically it comes apart when you next want it to.

Buy a nice big tub of it, put a small paint brush in it and keep it close to hand at all times!

Sorry my first post wasn't quite clear, I'll ammend the title.
Its the stuff you use to lubricate the pistons in the caliper, (comes in contact with brake fluid).
Some caliper repair kits come with a little sachet of it.
I have searched just abourt every where i can think of.

The red grease it seems very hard to get now, no factors keep or will get it. Last time i got some it was from some MG parts place that came up on a search on google.

I replied to this query in your answer to another post from TOBZMAN, LHD

Yeah I know but I've been looking since your reply for some, and can't find it anywhere.
As I had hijacked someones post I thought I had better start it under a new topic.

any good motor factor who deal with this company
http://www.fpsdistribution.com/
can get it, its made by lucas girling


ps if you speak to ebc tech dept ask them about copper ease on the back of pads interesting if any pads have copper ease on it the will not give any warrenty on them

best thing to do is leave the new seals soaking in a jar of new clean brake fluid for a few hours before you attempt to fit them

The grease goes under the name 'Castrol Girling Rubber Red Grease'
It's specially formulated for brake cylinders/calipers etc.

thanks lhd.......................
